Ajax scooped up three points in the 33rd round. John Heitinga's team secured victory in their final home game of the season, beating FC Utrecht 3-1 at their own Johan Cruyff ArenA. Thanks to beating Utrecht (known locally as the Domstedelingen), and PSV losing points, the Amsterdam team is still in with a chance of finishing second in the Eredivisie.
Ajas has finished its last home match of the season with a win. In the Johan Cruyff ArenA, the Amsterdam-based team won 3-1 against FC Utrecht. Steven Bergwijn, Brian Brobbey, and Davy Klaassen were responsible for the goals from Ajax’s side.
“Quite a good team as I remember, right?!”, says Kaj Sierhuis, smiling as he gazes at a photo of the 2014/15 U16 team. That was a talented squad, the striker admits. “Back in the U16 squad I'd never have thought I'd be where I am today by the age of 25.”
Diyae Jermoumi is currently the right-back for Ajax U23. The 18-year-old wing-back is not only a talented football player, but he also had a knack for judo at a young age. We take a trip with the Leiden-born defender back to his old judo school. "I did judo for fun, not with the intention of achieving something in the future. That's why I ultimately chose football. However, practicing judo at a young age has done me a lot of good."
